Hello, I am 20 years old, originally from Germany and in my first year studying at RGU. I have plenty of experience working with children between the ages of 5 and 15 and would be happy to work with children from 15 months onwards. From 2011 to 2016 I did regular volunteering with children in my church. This consisted of events for many different age groups. We did a monthly service for children, mornings full of indoor and outdoor games to keep the children busy during holidays and religious weekends for teenagers to name a few. In 2014 I took part in a youth camp, where two other group leaders and I were solely responsible for 11 children (aged 7 and 8) for ten days. During those five years I learnt a lot about child development, adapting to children with different personalities (introverted, extroverted etc.) and quickly getting to know new children and involving them in the group. From summer 2016 to summer 2017 I was an Au Pair in England for a family with two girls (aged 6 and 7). My role here consisted of cooking, helping with homework, playing with them, regular babysitting in the evenings and most other things a parent does. I learnt a lot about patience, responsibility, problem-solving and supporting children in their development. Counting all the hours together I have around 2000 hours of childcare experience. I am available for regular and occasional babysitting on most days of the week. For regular babysitting I would prefer up to three times a week, as I still need enough time to concentrate on my studies. I am also available for afternoon care on Wednesdays, and the weekend. However, I am looking for a job of around 10 hours a week, so either babysitting or one day of childcare. Please feel free to contact me for more information.
